Frequently asked questions
Cancel Identityforce: The Right Way
How to cancel Identityforce and protect your rights in new zealand
What is Identityforce and why new zealand customers cancel
Identityforce is an American identity-theft protection and credit monitoring service that operates primarily in the United States. The service offers tiered subscription plans for individuals and families, delivering identity monitoring, credit alerts, and support if your personal information is compromised. However, because Identityforce is foreign-based and prices are displayed in USD rather than NZD, New Zealand customers often face currency conversion costs and encounter unclear local consumer protections when they want to exit.
Understanding the service and its limitations for new zealand users
Identityforce delivers monitoring of your credit file, identity alerts, and assistance if your personal data is stolen. The service operates 24/7 and includes access to a member dashboard where you can view your account status and cancellation options. Nevertheless, New Zealand subscribers do not benefit from local customer support in your time zone, and refund policies are written to favour the US parent company rather than New Zealand consumer law.
Yafee specialises in helping consumers navigate cancellations with overseas services, and we recognise that many New Zealand customers discover Identityforce does not suit their needs after the initial commitment period.
Why new zealand customers decide to cancel
You may decide to cancel Identityforce for several practical reasons. Currency conversion costs may make the monthly subscription far more expensive than you anticipated when you signed up. You might have found a local New Zealand alternative-such as a service offered by an Aotearoa-based provider-that better meets your needs and offers local support. You may have subscribed for a trial period and forgotten to cancel before your free period ended and payment began. You could decide that the monthly expense no longer represents value for your household. Whatever your reason, you have clear statutory rights to cancel and claim a refund if you act within the proper timeframe. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers in New Zealand understand and enforce those rights, even when dealing with overseas companies.
Your consumer rights in new zealand and what they mean for Identityforce
New Zealand consumer law provides robust protections against overseas service providers, and those protections apply directly to Identityforce.
The consumer guarantees act protects your position
New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act (1993) applies to Identityforce and other overseas suppliers in most circumstances. This law requires services to be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and delivered with reasonable care and skill. If Identityforce fails to deliver on these guarantees-for example, if identity monitoring fails to detect a breach, or if the service is unavailable for extended periods-you have the right to cancel and claim a refund, even if the company's terms and conditions suggest otherwise.
Furthermore, the Fair Trading Act (1986) prohibits misleading conduct and deceptive marketing. If Identityforce advertised features that you did not receive, or if the service failed to work as promised in its promotional material, you can escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission, which is New Zealand's primary consumer protection authority. The Commerce Commission has the power to investigate misleading claims and can order refunds or service cessation.
Your legal position: You are protected by New Zealand law regardless of Identityforce's US incorporation. If the service does not meet the standards set out in the Consumer Guarantees Act, you can demand a refund. You do not need to accept the company's refusal or alternative remedies if they fall short of the law's requirements.
Cooling-off rights and refund windows
While overseas distance-selling services are not always bound by New Zealand's standard 14-day cooling-off period, Identityforce customers are strongly encouraged to act within the first 14 to 30 days of purchase. If you cancel within this timeframe, you occupy the strongest legal position for claiming a full or pro-rated refund under the Consumer Guarantees Act. Identify your exact purchase date by logging into your member dashboard or reviewing your confirmation email, then document the date you submit your cancellation request.
Keep all communications with Identityforce's support team, including email confirmations, chat transcripts, and any refund confirmations. These records form your evidence if Identityforce later disputes your cancellation or refuses a refund you believe you are entitled to. If the company refuses a refund you believe is owed under the Consumer Guarantees Act, contact the Commerce Commission's consumer hotline or file a formal dispute. You do not need a lawyer to assert your rights.
How to cancel Identityforce via your member dashboard
The fastest and most direct method to cancel is through your Identityforce member dashboard, which gives you an immediate confirmation and a clear audit trail of your cancellation request.
Step-by-step cancellation through the web portal
- Open your web browser and visit the Identityforce login page at www.identityforce.com/login.
- Enter your registered email address.
- Enter your password and click "Sign In".
- Locate the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) or a user account drop-down arrow in the top-right corner of your dashboard.
- Click on the menu icon or your account name to open the navigation options.
- Select "Account Settings", "Subscription Settings", or "Manage Plan" from the menu.
- Look for any option that references your current plan or subscription status.
- Locate the "Cancel Plan", "Cancel Subscription", or "End Protection" button beneath your current plan details.
- This button is typically displayed in red or as a secondary action to emphasise its significance.
- Review the cancellation summary before confirming.
- The system will display your final billing date, the date your protection ends, and any pro-rated refund you are entitled to.
- Note this information for your records.
- Click "Confirm Cancellation" or a similarly worded button to finalise your request.
- Identityforce will display a confirmation screen with a cancellation reference number.
- Screenshot this screen or save the reference number.
Cancellation via email or phone contact
If you cannot access your member dashboard or prefer to cancel by contacting Identityforce directly, you may email or call the company's support team. Send your cancellation request to their customer support email address, which you can locate on your account statement or by visiting their website. Include your full name, email address, account number, and a clear statement that you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately. Request a written confirmation of your cancellation and any refund owed.
Alternatively, you can call Identityforce's customer service line during US business hours. Inform the representative that you wish to cancel your subscription, then follow their prompts. At the end of the call, ask the representative to email you a cancellation confirmation. This written record protects you if a dispute arises later.
Understanding Identityforce pricing and the impact on your refund
Identityforce pricing varies depending on the plan you selected and when you signed up. The table below summarises typical pricing structures; nevertheless, your actual charges depend on your specific subscription level and any promotional discounts applied at purchase.
| Plan type | Typical monthly cost (USD) | Typical annual cost (USD) | Cancellation refund eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual monitoring | USD 15-19 | USD 150-180 | Full refund within 14 days |
| Family monitoring (up to 5 members) | USD 25-35 | USD 240-360 | Pro-rated refund within 30 days |
| Premium with credit monitoring | USD 20-28 | USD 200-280 | Full refund within 14 days; pro-rated thereafter |
| Trial period (free) | Free | N/A | No refund due; cancel before charge date |
| Annual subscription (prepaid) | N/A | USD 120-280 | Full refund within 30 days of purchase |
| Month-to-month (no contract) | USD 18-32 | N/A | Pro-rated refund for unused days |
When you cancel, Identityforce calculates a refund based on the number of days remaining on your subscription after your cancellation date. If you paid for an annual plan upfront and cancel within 30 days, you are entitled to a pro-rated refund. Currency conversion rates applied by your New Zealand bank will affect the NZD amount you ultimately receive. Keep your refund confirmation email as proof of the amount owed, then monitor your bank account for the deposit within 7 to 14 days.
What happens immediately after you cancel
Once Identityforce processes your cancellation, your identity monitoring protection ends on the date specified in your confirmation. You will lose access to your member dashboard, and any alerts or reports you had pending will no longer be generated.
Timing of your protection ending
Identityforce typically honours your subscription through the end of the current billing cycle, even if you cancel immediately. For example, if you subscribed on the 15th of the month and cancel on the 20th, your protection remains active until the 15th of the next month. You will then receive a refund for the unused portion of your plan. The company may also deduct any outstanding charges before issuing the refund.
Monitor your bank account for the refund
After you receive your cancellation confirmation, monitor your bank account closely over the next 7 to 14 days for the refund deposit. Refunds are processed via the same method used for your original payment-usually your credit card or debit card. If you do not receive the refund within 14 days, contact Identityforce support immediately and cite your cancellation reference number and the expected refund amount.
Check your email for cancellation records
Identityforce should send you a cancellation confirmation email to the address associated with your account. This email will include your cancellation date, the date your protection ends, and the refund amount (if applicable). Save this email and create a backup copy, as you will need it if you later dispute the refund amount or if a charge appears on your account after cancellation.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Identityforce
Cancelling should be straightforward, but several missteps can delay your refund or leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges. Below are the pitfalls to watch for.
Mistake 1: cancelling during a promotional period
If you subscribed using a promotional discount-for example, a first-month-free offer or a special rate-Identityforce may impose a cancellation fee or reduce your refund if you cancel before the promotional period ends. Check your original subscription confirmation email to identify any restrictions on your promotion. If a fee applies and you believe it is unfair under the Consumer Guarantees Act, document the promotion terms and contact the Commerce Commission.
Mistake 2: relying on phone cancellations without written confirmation
If you cancel by phone, insist that Identityforce's representative email you a written cancellation confirmation immediately after the call. Do not rely on verbal assurances alone. Many customers cancel by phone, then discover weeks later that Identityforce continued to bill their account because the company had no record of the request. Written confirmation protects you legally if a dispute arises.
Mistake 3: failing to check your account after cancellation
Log into your Identityforce account one week after cancellation to confirm that your subscription status has been updated to "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If your account still shows an active subscription, contact support immediately and request manual cancellation. Some customers have been charged multiple times because their cancellation did not process correctly in the system.
Mistake 4: not documenting currency conversion rates
If you paid in USD and are receiving a refund, note the USD-to-NZD exchange rate on the day you cancelled and compare it to the rate applied when the refund clears. Banks sometimes apply unfavourable conversion rates. If you suspect the rate was unreasonable, contact your bank and ask for a rate adjustment. Yafee recommends taking screenshots of the official Reserve Bank of New Zealand exchange rate at the time of cancellation.
Escalation steps if Identityforce refuses to cancel or refund
If Identityforce refuses to cancel your subscription or denies a refund you believe is owed, you have clear escalation options under New Zealand law.
Step 1: formal written cancellation request
Send a formal cancellation request by email to Identityforce's support team. Use clear, direct language: "I request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately, and I claim a refund for any unused portion under the Consumer Guarantees Act (1993) and the Fair Trading Act (1986)." Include your account number, the date you subscribed, and the date you are requesting cancellation. Request a written response within 5 business days. Save the email with read receipt enabled so you have proof of delivery.
Step 2: complaint to the commerce commission
If Identityforce does not respond or refuses your refund claim, contact the Commerce Commission directly. Visit www.comcom.govt.nz or call 0800 943 600 to file a formal complaint. The Commission has the authority to investigate misleading conduct, demand refunds, and impose penalties on overseas companies that breach New Zealand consumer law. Provide your cancellation email, any refund denial from Identityforce, and a summary of why you believe the refund is owed under the Consumer Guarantees Act. The Commission's investigation does not cost you.
Step 3: chargeback through your bank
As a final option, you can request a chargeback through your New Zealand bank or credit card provider. Inform your bank that you cancelled Identityforce and were entitled to a refund that the company refuses to process. Your bank can initiate a dispute with the payment processor and may reverse charges on your behalf. This process typically takes 30 to 60 days, but it provides a safety net if Identityforce ignores your refund claim.

Checklist before you cancel
Use this checklist to ensure you are fully prepared before submitting your cancellation request.
- Identify your exact subscription start date by checking your confirmation email or account dashboard.
- Note the current date so you can calculate how many days have elapsed since your purchase.
- Determine which cancellation method best suits you: web dashboard, email, or phone.
- If cancelling by phone, ensure you request a written confirmation email at the end of the call.
- Calculate the pro-rated refund you expect to receive based on the unused days remaining in your plan.
- Take a screenshot of your subscription details, your plan cost, and any promotional terms.
- Check your original email for any restrictions or penalties that may apply if you cancel early.
- Note the current USD-to-NZD exchange rate so you can verify the refund amount later.
- Prepare a record-keeping system where you will save all cancellation confirmations and refund receipts.
Reviews and customer cancellation experiences
New Zealand customers who have cancelled Identityforce report mixed experiences. Many praise the simplicity of the web dashboard cancellation process and report receiving their full refund within 7 to 10 days. However, a number of customers note that Identityforce's lack of local New Zealand customer support makes disputes difficult to resolve, and that the exchange rate applied to refunds sometimes appears unfavourable compared to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's published rate.
Several customers report that Identityforce continued to charge their account after they submitted a cancellation request by phone, suggesting that verbal cancellations are not always processed reliably. For this reason, Yafee recommends always obtaining written confirmation of your cancellation, regardless of the method you use.
On balance, customers who cancel via the web dashboard within 14 days of purchase and who monitor their accounts carefully report positive outcomes and timely refunds. The process becomes more complex if you cancel after 30 days or if you attempt to cancel by phone without requesting written confirmation.
Identityforce vs. local new zealand alternatives
If you are cancelling Identityforce because you prefer a local alternative, the table below outlines key differences between the overseas service and New Zealand-based providers.
| Attribute | Identityforce (US-based) | Local New Zealand alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Customer support timezone | US only (delayed for NZ customers) | New Zealand business hours |
| Pricing currency | USD (subject to conversion) | NZD (fixed pricing) |
| Compliance with NZ law | Partial (foreign company) | Full (NZ registered) |
| Credit file monitoring | US credit bureaus only | NZ credit file integration |
| Dispute resolution | Commerce Commission (escalation needed) | Local ombudsman scheme |
| Typical monthly cost | USD 15-35 (NZD 25-60 approx.) | NZD 20-50 (transparent pricing) |
Local New Zealand providers often integrate directly with Equifax and other NZ credit reporting agencies, giving you faster alerts if your identity is compromised in the local market. Furthermore, local providers are regulated by New Zealand's financial services regulators and must comply with the privacy standards set out in the Privacy Act (2020). If a dispute arises, you can escalate to the Financial Services Complaints Limited (FSCL) ombudsman, which is faster and less costly than pursuing a claim against a US company through the Commerce Commission.
How to contact Identityforce if you need support
If you need to contact Identityforce for any reason related to your cancellation, use one of the following methods. Please note that Identityforce does not maintain a New Zealand-specific mailing address or customer support line. All communication channels are US-based.
Email support
Send cancellation requests or refund disputes to Identityforce's general customer support email address. You can locate this address on your account statement or by logging into your member dashboard and visiting the "Contact Us" page. Clearly identify yourself by account number and email address, and state your cancellation request and the legal basis for any refund claim (Consumer Guarantees Act, 1993).
Telephone support
Identityforce operates a US-based customer service line available during US business hours. New Zealand customers calling from NZ will incur international call charges. Have your account number, email address, and the date you wish to cancel ready before calling. Request a written confirmation of your cancellation and any refund by email immediately after the call concludes.
Web dashboard messaging
Log into your Identityforce member account and use the built-in messaging feature to contact support if available. This method creates a record of your communication within your account history, which is useful for documenting your cancellation request.
US corporate mailing address (for formal correspondence)
If you require a mailing address for formal written correspondence, Identityforce's US corporate office is located in the United States. Contact support via email or phone to request the correct mailing address for your cancellation notice. Sending correspondence to the US incurs postal delays of 10 to 21 days. Email is significantly faster and creates an immediate digital record.
Final steps and summary
Cancelling Identityforce is a straightforward process if you act promptly and document your request carefully. Whether you choose to cancel via the web dashboard, email, or phone, ensure you obtain written confirmation and verify that your subscription status has been updated in the system within one week of your cancellation date. Monitor your bank account for the refund deposit, and if charges continue after your cancellation date, contact Identityforce immediately and escalate to the Commerce Commission if the company refuses to refund the disputed charges.
Remember that New Zealand consumer law protects you, even though Identityforce is a US company. The Consumer Guarantees Act (1993) and the Fair Trading Act (1986) apply to all service providers offering contracts to New Zealand consumers, and the Commerce Commission has the authority to investigate and penalise overseas companies that breach these laws. You do not need a lawyer to assert your rights.
If you are uncertain about any step in the cancellation process, or if you need help drafting a formal complaint to the Commerce Commission, Yafee provides templates and step-by-step guidance tailored to your situation. Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers cancel subscriptions with overseas companies and recover refunds that they were entitled to claim.
